Revenue by product line for the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance revises existing U.S. GAAP by requiring lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases (except for short-term leases). The standard also requires additional disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease transactions. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required with certain practical expedients available. The Company continues to perform a comprehensive evaluation on the impacts of adopting this standard and plans on adopting this ASU effective January 1, 2019. The Company believes this standard will primarily result in an increase in the assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet and will not have a material impact on its consolidated income statement.three months ended September 30, 2022 was as follows:
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance prescribes a single, common revenue standard that replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The standard outlines a five-step model whereby revenue is recognized as performance obligations within a contract are satisfied. The standard also requires new, expanded revenue disclosures.

Several ASUs addressing revenue recognition have been issued since the issuance of ASU 2014-09. These ASUs, which modify certain sections of ASU 2014-09, are intended to promote a more consistent interpretation and application of the principles outlined in the standard. The Company will adopt the guidance effective January 1, 2018, the standard’s effective date, using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, the cumulative effect of adopting the standard is recognized in equity at the date of initial application.

To assess the impact of the new standard, the Company developed a comprehensive project plan. This project plan includes analyzing the standard’s impact on customer contracts across the Company’s business segments, comparing its historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard, and identifying potential differences from applying the new standard’s requirements. The Company has substantially completed its assessment and does not expect that adopting the new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. As a result, it expects to recognize substantially all of its revenue at a point in time, generally when products are either shipped or delivered. The Company will finalize its evaluation of the effect on its consolidated financial statements during the fourth quarter of 2017.
The Company has completed its evaluation of pre-production costs related to long-term supply arrangements, such as reimbursable tooling, and expects to continue accounting for pre-production costs in accordance with existing guidance. In addition, the Company’s internal control framework is not expected to significantly change. Instead, existing internal controls will be modified and augmented, as necessary. While implementing the new standard, the Company will continue to monitor FASB activities and interpretations of various non-authoritative industry groups for any possible impact on the Company’s findings.

3.4. Restructuring
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its business and objectives to ensure that it is properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions. Accordingly, the Company has implemented several restructuring initiatives, including closure or consolidation of facilities throughout the world and the reorganization of its operating structure.
In January 2015, the Company announced its intention to further restructure its European manufacturing footprint based on anticipated market demands. The total estimated cost of this initiative, which is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2017, is approximately $120,000 to $125,000, of which approximately $107,000 has been incurred to date. We expect to incur total employee separation costs of approximately $63,000 to $66,000, other related exit costs of approximately $56,000 to $58,000 and non-cash asset impairments related to restructuring activities of approximately $500.
The Company’s restructuring charges consist of severance, retention and outplacement services, and severance-related postemployment benefits (collectively, “employee separation costs”), along with other related exit costs and asset impairments related to restructuring activities.activities (collectively, “other exit costs”).

8.10. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016 was2021 were as follows:

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis see Note 2. “Acquisitions,” Note 3. “Restructuring”“Deconsolidation and Divestiture” and Note 5.7. “Property, Plant and Equipment.”

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting. Gains or losses on derivative instruments resulting from hedge ineffectiveness are reported in earnings.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, to the extent that the hedges are effective, and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of net income.operations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.
Cash Flow Hedges
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts - The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flowflows arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso,Peso.

12.14. Income Taxes
The Company determines its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company records the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Income tax (benefit) expense, loss before income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Loss before income taxes(34,053)(92,743)(127,337)(208,508)
Effective tax rate%(35)%(1)%(7)%
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 varied from the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the initial recognition of valuation allowances in the U.S., resulting in tax expense of $31,740 and $13,278 recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, and the inability to record a benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances. Additionally the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were impacted by discrete tax impacts of the gain on sale-leaseback transaction in Europe, tax reserve changes, and other permanent items.
The income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 varied from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, and other permanent items. Additionally, the income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 varied from the U.S. statutory rate as a result of the initial recognition of valuation allowances in the U.S.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received $54,273 in cash payments from the United States Internal Revenue Service for tax refunds related to net operating loss carrybacks.

Effective tax rate24% 25% 27% 29%
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was lower primarily due to nonrecurring discrete items, including the impact of participating in a foreign tax amnesty program, recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 varies from statutory rates primarily due to the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income, tax credits, income tax incentives, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation and other permanent items. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes may beis impacted by the recognition ofchanges in valuation allowances in the U.S. and certain countries.foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company intendsevaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to maintain thesedetermine, based on the weight of the evidence, if a valuation allowances untilallowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized.realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company’s decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities.
Inflation Reduction Action of 2022
13.On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Action of 2022, which, among other things, implements a 15% minimum tax on financial statement income of certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. Based on its current analysis of the provisions, the Company does not believe this legislation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, but the Company is continuing to evaluate the implications.

The number of PUs that will vest depends on the Company’s achievement of target performance goals related to the Company’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”), and total shareholder return, which may range from 0% to 200% of the target award amount. The grant-date fair valuePUs tied to total shareholder return cliff vest at the end of a three-year performance period. The PUs tied to ROIC cliff vest one year after the end of their individual performance periods. The RSUs and PUs was determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Recent Trends and Conditions
General Economic Conditions and Outlook
The global automotive industry is susceptible to uncertain economic conditions that could adversely impact new vehicle demand.demand and production. Business conditions may vary significantly from period to period or region to region. In 2021, global automotive production was negatively impacted by lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and broad supply chain challenges stemming, in part, from a sharp rebound in overall industrial demand. In 2022, rising inflation, interest rates and continuing supply chain challenges are contributing to global economic uncertainty. In addition, recent pandemic related restrictions imposed in certain large population centers in China, the threat of additional lockdowns, and continuing military actions in Eastern Europe are having broad negative impacts on key sectors of the global economy.
In North America, whileU.S. consumer confidence has trended downward since the U.S. economy has been relatively stable, market indicators show signssecond quarter of softening2021. Key drivers of the decline are significant inflation, continuing supply chain disruptions and rising interest rates. Geopolitical tensions and uncertainty surrounding the upcoming mid-term elections in the United States are also important factors. However, low unemployment rates, rising wages, continued government spending and private spending related to pent-up consumer demand. The mixdemand continue to support economic growth. Economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are expecting the economies of vehicles produced continuesthe United States, Canada and Mexico to shift away from passenger cars into crossover utility vehiclesgrow by 1.6 percent, 3.3 percent and light trucks.2.1 percent, respectively, in 2022 with growth expectations moderating to 1.0 percent, 1.3 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively, in 2023.
In Europe, the continuing economic recoverywar in Ukraine, related sanctions imposed on Russia and infrastructure disruptions are having a dramatic impact on energy prices and energy security. This is driving increased demandtranslating into lower output and higher inflation for light vehicles. Certain countries withinmost Eurozone countries. Supply chain disruptions have also hurt certain industries including the automobile sector, with the war and sanctions hindering the production of key input materials. With the European region are faced with an uncertainCentral Bank having ended stimulative asset purchases and potentially volatile geopolitical climate, which could impact consumer confidence andaggressively raising policy interest rates to stem inflation, economic growth.
The Chinese government continues to manage the nation’s economy with a goal of sustaining growth. Overall economic growth consumer preferences and an expanding middle class in China continue to drive crossover utility vehicle demand higher, while demand for passenger cars is expected to decline slightlymoderate in the fourth quarter of 2022. Economists at the IMF are currently expecting the economy in the Eurozone region to grow by approximately 3.1 percent for the full year over year.2022 but just 0.5 percent in 2023.
Finally, dueIn the Asia Pacific region, the combination of more transmissible variants and the strict zero-COVID strategy in China has led to continuedrepeated mobility restrictions and localized lockdowns that have weighed on economic activity and private consumption. Moreover, real estate investment in China, once a key driver of economic growth, has slowed significantly. However, higher infrastructure investment and government spending are expected to support growth for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. Economists at the IMF are expecting the Chinese economy to grow 4.3 percent in 2022, with expected growth moderating to just 2.6 percent in 2023.
In South America, the Brazilian economy continues to expand amid fiscal support and the lessening impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing exports of goods and services have provided strong support and the unemployment rate remains low. Certain fiscal interventions such as recently enacted tax cuts and fuel subsidies have provided stimulative support

to the Brazilian economy in the second half of 2022 but may expire following the runoff presidential elections in late October. This would likely result in slower economic growth rates going forward. Economists at the IMF are now estimating the Brazilian economy will grow 2.9 percent for the full year 2022, with growth moderating to just 0.7 percent in 2023. We remain cautious for the economic outlook in this market given the long history of political instability and economic volatility in Brazil,the region.
Raw Materials
Our business is susceptible to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials which may place operational and profitability burdens on the entire supply chain. Costs related to raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and oil-derived commodities, continue to be volatile, which led to significant increases in these costs in 2021. Current global events continue to add further price pressure and uncertainty to raw material costs for 2022. In addition, we remain cautious about consumer confidencecontinue to see significant inflationary pressure on wages, energy, transportation and vehicle demand in this region.other general costs. As such, we will continue to work on an ongoing basis with our customers and suppliers to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost exposures through a combination of expanded index-based agreements and other commercial enhancements.
Production Levels
Our business is directly affected by the automotive vehicle production rates in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. New vehicle demand is drivenAmerica which have been adversely affected by macroeconomica series of events in recent years. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we experienced production shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, OEM production volumes were disrupted by the global shortage of semiconductors, but have improved sequentially quarter over quarter. In 2022, disruptions stemming from the Russia-Ukraine crisis and other factors,lockdowns in key Chinese manufacturing and trading hubs such as interest rates, manufacturerShenzhen and dealer sales incentives, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment levels, income growth trendsShanghai have further exacerbated supply chain disruptions and government and tax incentives. The industry could face uncertainties that may adversely impact consumer demand for vehicles as well as the future production environment.
In North America, light vehicle inventory in the U.S. had risen significantly above normalized levels at the end of the second quarter of 2017. Production cuts by OEMs in the third quarter of 2017 were successful in bringing inventory closer to normalized levels and more aligned with consumer demand. Even in view of lower inventory levels, we expect overall light vehicle production in the fourth quarter of 2017 to be slightly lower than in the fourth quarter of 2016, driven largely by continued lower production of passenger cars. European light vehicle production has seen modest year-over-year growth through the first three quarters of 2017 and we expect this trend to continue through the fourth quarter of 2017. In Asia Pacific, we expect light vehicle production tolevels. We continue to grow sequentially at modest levels through the remainder of 2017, driven mainly by China.

Industry Overview(1)Production data based on S&P Global (formerly IHS Markit), October 2022.
CompetitionIn all regions, production volumes were impacted by the global shortage of semiconductors which began in the automotive supplier industry is intensefirst quarter of 2021 and has increased in recent years as OEMsdeteriorated thereafter throughout the year. Production stoppages related to semiconductor and other supply chain shortages continued into 2022, but have demonstrated a preference for stronger relationships with fewer suppliers. Because of a growing emphasis on globalimproved sequentially quarter over quarter. In Europe, vehicle platforms, automotive suppliers with a global manufacturing footprint capable of fully servicing customers around the world will typically have a competitive advantage over smaller, regional competitors. This dynamic is likely to result in further consolidation of competing suppliers within our industry over time.
OEMs have shifted some research and development, design and testing responsibility to suppliers, while at the same time shortening new product cycle times. To remain competitive, suppliers must have state-of-the-art engineering and design capabilities and must be able to continuously improve their engineering, design and manufacturing processes to effectively service the customer. Suppliers are increasingly expected to collaborate on, or assume the product design and development of, key automotive components and to provide innovative solutions to meet evolving technologies aimed at improved emissions and fuel economy.
Increased competitivenessproduction in the industry, as well as customer focus on costs, has resulted in pressure on suppliers for price reductions, reducing the overall profitability of the industry. Consolidations and market share shifts among vehicle manufacturers continue to putnine months ended September 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by additional pressures on the supply chain. These pricing and market pressures will continue to drive our focus on reducing our overall cost structure through continuous improvement initiatives, capital redeployment, restructuring and other cost management processes.
In additionchain issues related to the above, other factors will present opportunities for automotive suppliers who are positioned for the changing environment, including autonomous and connected vehicles, evolving government regulation, and consumer preference for environmentally friendly products and technology, including hybrid and electric vehicle architectures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks
We intendThe sources to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements throughare a combination of cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) and receivables factoring. The Company utilizes intercompany loans and equity contributions to fund its worldwide operations. There may be country-specific regulations which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. See Note 7.9. “Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1,I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
Based onWe continue to actively preserve cash and enhance liquidity, including decreasing our currentcapital expenditures. We continuously monitor and anticipated levels of operationsforecast our liquidity situation, take the necessary actions to preserve our liquidity and evaluate other financial alternatives that may be available to us should the condition in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our ABL Facility and receivables factoring will enable us to meet our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the next twelve months. However, ourneed arise. Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other obligations, and to comply with the financial covenants, including borrowing base limitations, under our ABL Facility, depend on our future operating performance and cash flowflows and many factors outside of our control, including the costs of raw materials, the state of the overall automotive industry and financial and economic conditions, including the continued impact of COVID-19, and other factors. Based on those actions and current projections of OEM customer production, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our ABL Facility and receivables factoring will enable us to meet our ongoing working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next twelve months, despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain issues facing the industry. Our ability to meet our debt service requirements for the next twelve months is contingent upon our ability to refinance our Term Loan Facility.

33


Our Term Loan Facility matures on November 2, 2023. The Company has retained Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as its financial advisor to analyze, evaluate and help arrange a refinancing of the Term Loan Facility and possibly certain other debt instruments. To the extent the Company is not able to refinance its Term Loan Facility prior to the issuance of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, our independent auditors may issue an audit opinion including an explanatory paragraph that indicates there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The inclusion of such an explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent auditors would breach a covenant under our Term Loan Facility which, unless cured, would constitute an event of default thereunder. Such an event of default would cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration of other indebtedness. In such a case, the Company would not expect that it would have sufficient liquidity to repay all of its outstanding indebtedness at such time. The Company continues its discussions with certain investors with respect to potential refinancing alternatives. While discussions are ongoing, the Company has not reached an agreement with respect to such a transaction for refinancing its capital structure and there can be no assurances that such an agreement will be reached in the future.

Cash2021. The change was primarily related to proceeds of $50.0 million related to the sale-leaseback of a certain European facility which were received in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 along with reduced capital spending in 2022. We expect to continue initiatives to reduce overall capital spending and anticipate that we will spend approximately $80 - $90 million on capital expenditures in 2022.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in investingfinancing activities consisted


primarily of capital spending of $137.4 million and $116.8totaled $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $165 million2022, compared to $175 million on capital expenditures in 2017.
Financing Activities. Netnet cash used inprovided by financing activities totaled $52.1of $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $41.3 million for2021. The outflow in 2022 was relatively consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased repurchase activity under our share repurchase program, certain paydowns of foreign bank loansoutflow in 2017 and decreased warrant exercises.2021.
Share Repurchase Program
In March 2016,June 2018, our Board of Directors approved a securitiescommon stock repurchase program (the “Program”“2018 Program”) authorizing us to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $125$150.0 million of our outstanding common stock or warrants to purchase common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, or through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by our managementus and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations.
In March 2016, we purchased $23.8 million of our common stock (350,000 shares at $68.00 per share) from the Selling Stockholders (as described in Note 15. “Common Stock” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report). In 2017, we repurchased $31.5 million of our common stock (306,072 shares at an average purchase price of $102.76 per share, excluding commissions) in the open market, of which $30.7 million was settled in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We expect to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The specific timing and amount of any future repurchase will vary based on market and business conditions, changes in tax laws (including the Inflation Reduction Act) and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be discontinued at any time at our discretion. As of September 30, 2017,2022, we havehad approximately $69.7$98.7 million of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program.We did not make any repurchases under the 2018 Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our operating performance. Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
because similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in our financing arrangements;
in developing our internal budgets and forecasts;
as a significant factor in evaluating our management for compensation purposes;
in evaluating potential acquisitions;
in comparing our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry; and
in presentations to the members of our board of directors to enable our board of directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in their assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company.
In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, as adjusted
34


for items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-cash fair value adjustments and acquisition-related costs.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measurements recognized under U.S. GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to, and not as alternatives for, net income (loss), operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. These limitations include:
 
they do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments;
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
they do not reflect interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments under our ABL Facility, Term Loan Facility, Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes;
they do not reflect certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and


other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently and, as the number of differences in the way companies calculate these measures increases, the degree of their usefulness as a comparative measure correspondingly decreases.
In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, it should be noted that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the below presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by special items.
